Offense struggling, let's draft more defense


GoobyPls

Recommended Posts

People in this forum really want to draft more defensive players? Really? Are we the Carolina Jets?

 

What are Adams, Barnettt, Garrett going to do? Will they help Cam develop? catch passes? block for Cam?

 

This organization and its fanbase has lost touch with today's NFL.

I feel defensive players tend to have a more immediate impact.   When you are picking in the top 10, you want someone who makes an immediate difference. 

 

I am not condoning this,  just explaining the mindset. 

I disagree

Vernon Butler vs Hunter Henry (Decker)

And before anyone uses Shula as scapegoat just know he will most likely be here next season. So you either give him some help or expect the same.

 

Why in gods name does Rivera need more defensive players anyways? He should be able to develop late round picks

it's hard to argue for a 1st round OT this year. there are like 2 guys and one is likely not going to be on our board. maybe i'm wrong, but i feel like it'd be a failure to draft a RB top-10. same for a WR.

the best players in this draft are defense.

I'd rather take OT, TE, RB in rounds 2-3.

to be completely honest, i think we're screwed at LT again next year. we have Oher, but there are no good FAs, there is not much at the top of the draft, and I don't know about us trading for one-- maybe that's our best hope (to get Joe Thomas or Staley for a 3rd rounder).

i get that there are 2 RBs who are supposedly elite, but man, i remember this board during the late hurney years complaining about our investment in the RB position. i just think such a high pick for an RB without an o-line is a waste. we can get a young talented guy in round 2 and hopefully work on improving the o-line.

for me, the only offensive player worth drafting round 1 would be an OT. there are none.

Wrong. A rookie stud will have impact no matter the position.

You know we have multiple picks...we can't let D fall...I don't see a first round ot ...so why not bolster pass rush...

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
